Illustrated by
Sean Qualls.
In this tale inspired by the Aesop fable "The Bundle of Sticks," blue-haired doll-like Little Cloud longs for a life on earth--until Lady Wind takes her on a tour of the sky and shows her her true worth. The heavy-handedness of the allegorical story is somewhat mitigated by Qualls's lovely and unpretentious blue-and-purple-dominant illustrations.
